Once again, I sort through the beer blogs so you don't have to. Let's get right to it.

Thank god for modern bandwidth! Sloshspot presents this post featuring attractive images of 116 different beers representing 116 different countries from across the globe. Quite a compilation.
A Good Beer Blog turned me on to this calorie counter on the BBC that will convert your alcohol consumption into its food equivalent. Now if only I knew what a "jaffa cake" was...
Lyke 2 Drink discussed L'Independante -- a beer whose proceeds go to support Quebec's independence from Canada. Consider it the couch potatoes' way to révolution.
Speaking of Canada, Brewed For Thought humorously ponders what beers American expats would currently be drowning their sorrows in had Obama lost the election.
Brookston Beer Bulletin points out some craft beer action in the funny pages.
Beer Examiner Charlie Papazian posted what looks like a rockin' recipe for Fudge Stout Brownies. Yum. If you bake up a batch, please give me a call.
Or why wait for dessert when you can have some Breakfast Stout (via beerporn).
And lastly, DrankTank linked to a topic that has always interested me: It's the Wikipedia article on "Alcohol laws of the United States by state." The intricacies and variance in the laws across the country astound me.

Loves the Jaffa cakes! Its basically a small puck (thinkg cookies size) of sponge cake topped with an orange goo which is then topped with chocolate.

BTW, if you ever make it to San Diego you'll find a rather thriving microbrew/tap room scene.

haha...I was wondering what a Jaffa cake was too after I checked the site from "A Good Beer Blog". From the above comment...now I know :) I thought it looked like a donut or something. And I also must comment...food in the UK must be low in calories!
